Summary

nin is rendered "offspring". It stands 3 times in the Hebrew text, across three books.

  • One of the uses stand in Genesis, more than in any other book.
  • Its first use in canonical order opens the ledger below.Genesis 21:23Now, therefore, swear to me here before God that you will not deal falsely with me or my children or descendants. Show to me and to the country in which you reside the same kindness that I have shown to you.”
  • The Greek text spells it three different ways.

The first use

Now, therefore, swear to me here before God that you will not deal falsely with me or my children or descendants. Show to me and to the country in which you reside the same kindness that I have shown to you.”

Genesis 21:23וּלְנִינִ֖י

The first use, in the order of the Old Testament's books.

Where the word stands

One of the word's three uses is in Genesis.

The other 36 Old Testament books never use the word.

How the numbers are counted

Every count on this page comes from STEP Bible's tagged Hebrew and Greek text, the same text the ledger prints. A use is counted once each time the tagging marks a word with this key.

Spellings are counted as the Greek text spells them, with the sentence's own punctuation taken off the word first, so a form that ends a clause is not counted as a second spelling.
